Bristol City0 - 3Norwich

Simeon Jackson bagged a brace as Norwich piled more misery on struggling Bristol City with a comfortable win.

Jackson put the Canaries ahead midway through the first half with a venomous shot on the break.

Wes Hoolahan extended the visitors' lead from the penalty spot following a handball by Louis Carey.

Jackson then raced on to a goal-kick and slid the ball past David James to seal the win and leave the hosts rooted to the foot of the Championship table.

The win keeps Norwich in third place while Bristol City remain without a home win this campaign and have been leapfrogged by Leicester at the bottom of the table.

Jackson put Norwich in front after 23 minutes when Hoolahan's through ball ricocheted into the Canadian's path and he struck a blistering shot with that left James statuesque as it flew into the net.

The Robins created a chance when Albert Adomah stung John Ruddy's palms with a shot from 25 yards, before a long-range effort at the other end led to Norwich's second goal.

Grant Holt's shot struck Carey on the arm and Hoolahan added to his two goals against Leicester in midweek by beating James from the penalty spot.

Only a fine save from James to keep out Jackson's far-post header prevented the Canaries from extending their half-time lead.

Bristol City replaced defender Jamie McAllister with midfielder Lee Johnson at the break and the substitute almost scored with his first touch but his shot from the edge of the area struck the crossbar.

Jon Stead was then inches away from connecting with Adomah's cross as the hosts pushed forward in a bid to get back into the game.

But this left them vulnerable to the counter-attack and Jackson beat on-loan defender Steven Caulker to the ball and flicked it past the onrushing James only to see his effort dribble wide.

A minute later, Jackson did grab his second goal of the game. A long clearance by Ruddy found the striker in space inside the area and he calmly slotted the ball past James.
